You've gotta look up don't look down on me
You've gotta look up don't look down on me
You've gotta look up don't look down on me
Yeah !

Disrespecting me won't keep you alive
All the tricks you pulled and those you've tried

You've gotta look up don't look down on me
You've gotta look up don't look down on me
You've gotta look up don't look down on me
Yeah !

I wake up in the morning and it's a quarter to five
I breathe in deep to tell me i'm still alive
The state in education will make a monkey out of me
If i hang around any longer i'll be one of them

If i don't fit for your invitation
If i don't meet your expectation
Your only thought demands to be treated
Just give me one in five

You've gotta look up , don't look down on me (repeat 4 times)
Don't look down on me !

Man you destroyed all you can
Ain't nothing left for you to do now
Aaaah, aaaa

Hang around the streets where i come from
There taking calls cause they're angry i'm singing my song
One mans victory is another jokers fun
All the houses around me are now gonna show

If i don't fit for your invitation
If i don't meet your expectation
Your only thought demands to be treated
Just give me one in five

You've gotta look up , don't look down on me (repeat 4 times)
Don't look down on me !
Don't look down on me !
Don't look down on me !
Don't look down on me !
